Drawing projects
An Excalidraw canvas and a rich-text notes pane, saved as named projects, autosaved as you draw.

public/screenshots/drawing.pngA real canvas
Excalidraw itself, with the toolset you already know. Boxes, arrows, the hand-drawn look, all of it.
And what it is about
A rich-text notes pane beside the canvas. Two views of one project — both always exist, both autosave independently.
Named projects
List, search, favourite, rename, duplicate and delete. This is the one panel that owns its documents rather than borrowing yours.
Draw, Notes, or both
A segmented control in the title bar chooses what you are looking at: the canvas, the notes, or the two side by side on a draggable split. `Both` is not a third document — the panes are keyed by project, so moving between views never reloads the canvas that was already on screen.
- Draw
- The Excalidraw canvas.
- Notes
- A rich-text document — what the drawing is about.
- Both
- Side by side, on a split you can drag.

public/screenshots/drawing.pngProjects, not files
Unlike the editor and the browser, the drawing board owns what is in it. A project is a named drawing FigyTerm stores, lists, searches, favourites, renames and deletes — and duplicating or deleting one takes its notes with it, because they were never a separate thing. The rail marks a project whose notes have something in them, and the Notes tab carries a dot when you are looking at the canvas.

public/screenshots/drawing-projects.pngNothing to save
Drawing is autosaved. There is no Save button, no unsaved-changes prompt, and nothing to lose if the machine goes down mid-sketch. Everything is stored locally — no account, no cloud, no share link you did not ask for.
FAQ
Drawing, in short
Is this real Excalidraw?
Yes — the Excalidraw canvas itself, embedded. The toolbar, the shapes and the feel are the ones you already know.
Where are my drawings stored?
Locally, on your machine. There is no account and no sync — a drawing project exists on the computer you drew it on.
Can I export a drawing?
Excalidraw's own export is there for getting a diagram into a document or an issue.
